YouTube – What Is That Ugly Search Bar Doing In The Videos?
YouTube has silently just “updated” the embedded videos with a very ugly search bar. It’s there until you click play and will reappear for a few seconds every your cursor is near the top of the video.
If you pause a video it will also reappear.
I know I know, this will help YouTube (Google) get even [...]
Split YouTube Videos into Smaller Sections with TubeChop
Cutting a video into a desired clip can be a very ardous and time-consuming process. In most cases, you need to install special software on your computer. Then you have to load your file, select from a variety of options and hope that things turn out okay.
If the clip you want to trim happens to [...]
MTV Puts the ‘M’ Back In Music
So, without any real indication that they were going to do so, MTV re-launched themselves not only into the Web 2.0 world, but into what they used to be involved in, the ‘Music’ world. They opened up MTVMusic.com to the world and with it, just about every music video ever created.
It’s much higher quality [...]

My New Home AV Setup
I moved home back in June to a bigger 3 bed flat from my old 2 bed flat, where the 2nd bedroom had to double as guest room and my office. The extra bedroom is now doubling up as my office and a games room/2nd reception when my mates come around, which means we can [...]
New Microsoft Ads Are Hilarious And Creates A Buzz
Microsoft’s latest ads are hilarious! I admit they are a bit strange and really don’t have much of a story or message. It could remind you about a certain sitcom featuring a certain actor with a certain last name.
The $300 millon ad campaign features Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld as opposite to “Hi I’m Mac [...]
Show Me Your Desktop Fake Steve Jobs
Did you remember to read last week’s interview with Shoemoney? This season’s last interview is with Fake Steve Jobs.
Most people know Steve Jobs (creator of the iPhone), but not everybody read Steve Job’s secret blog/diary.
Some say it’s not written by Steve Jobs himself, but by Fake Steve Jobs. Some even say that Fake Steve Jobs [...]
Friday Fun: Dwight Howard Superman Dunk Videos
I haven’t been a big follower of basketball since I was living in the States in 1997 and since Michael Jordan retired, but I do like to watch the dunking contents.
The latest dunking sensation is Dwight Howard aka Superman and his range of dunks is awesome. Admittedly it does help being 6′11′, but even [...]
MacBook Air- You’re Darned Castrated!
One thing I wondered about MacBooks was that they liked omitting standard fare. The average PC comes with second mouse buttons, 1.44 drives and 28.8 modems. But with a Mac…? You get a single mouse button, no floppy and no modem. You want those, you pay extra.
Now, Steve Jobs releases the latest product in [...]
Friday Fun: Why A Geek Might Steal Your Girlfriend
I’m sure Dan and Jennifer will find this Friday’s video interesting!
Remember those nerdy kids at school who you never knew the names of, and who you used to make fun of in PE? Well, 10 years later at your school reunion they are probably the ones who have been the most successful, have the flash [...]
NSFW Friday Fun: Teacher Spotted In Raunchy YouTube Advert
I spotted a great story in the Times yesterday about how Sarah Green, an English teacher from Stockport Grammer School, got suspended from her job after her pupils spotted her in a ‘raunchy’ advert on YouTube.
The clip which shows her stimulating sex (she’s in the first scene) with workmen in a promotion to sell Scruffs [...]
LG Viewty – Class-leading Cameraphone
Just before I flew to San Francisco last month, my Nokia N95 died on me again, which was really annoying. The N95 refused to ‘boot’ so I had to send it off for repairs.
Luckily, thanks to the generous folks over at LG, a LG Viewty arrived for me to review and to play with. [...]
Friday Fun: Amazing Teenage Vocalists
It’s been a busy week so I’ve only just logged onto to Facebook for the first time this week.
As usual, there was a wide selection of funny videos, of which many were NSFW. However, there were two amazing videos of some teenage vocalists.
I’m amazed sometimes by how much talent some people have. Particularly [...]
Friday Fun: Best Of Facebook Funwall
I’m learning a lot about some of my friends on my Facebook funwall, particularly what they find or think is funny. Some of the videos have been classics, and I thought I’d share some of my favourites. Well, the ones I can post on the blog anyway!
If you’ve seen a funny video recently [...]
Friday Fun: Fight For Kisses!!
I just spotted the url for the following Fight For Kisses video in the personal message section of a friend’s MSN Messenger section.
I thought it was comical and a great way to draw people into an interactive ad site:
I just love these kind of campaigns and I wish more firms would follow Wilkinson Sword’s example, [...]
Friday Fun: Amazing Beatbox Nouvelle Star
My cousin sent me this video on Facebook. I think it’s from the french version of ‘Got Talent’.
I’ve watched it a few times closely, and I’ve never heard a beatbox like this. I really wish he’d done more of the Michael Jackson Billie Jean track, as it’s one of my favourites.
My French is [...]
Friday Fun: Daft Hands – Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
I’ve received some ‘interesting’ funwall posts on Facebook this week, including some I had to delete very quickly (thankfully Facebook will soon be launching groups!).
One of the better videos I’ve received this week features some great hand dancing to one of my favourite Daft Punk songs, Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.
If you don’t know the song [...]
Friday Fun: Seal Football Dribble
Kerlon is an amazingly talented brazilain footballer. The 19 year-old striker plays for Cruzerio and is able to execute his fair share of dummies, stepovers and other tricks. He’s already been called the next Ronaldinho.
But, what really sets him apart is his ‘Seal Dribble’, which involves running past opponents whilst bouncing the ball [...]

We’ve already seen the first four steps of the five step campaign. It began with TV spots during [...]
Friday Fun: Squirrel Auditions For Mission Impossible
I remember seeing videos like the one below when I was a kid.
It’s amazing to see how intelligent and agile some animals are. Imagine how lethal they would be if they were if they were our size. For instance, the Rhinoceros Beetle can lift 850 times it’s own body weight!
Just watch as this [...]
